So today we are going true premium! Ferdinand's gin is produced in the Saar region, using Riesling grapes. And we couldn't be happier about that, being the Riesling white wine lovers we are.⁠

But there is not only Riesling in this gin, oh no - to that ingrediens list more than 30 botanicals are added. It creates a very distinct gin, even perfect to sip on its own.⁠

Whenever we get a new gin we are always tempted to try it out in a Negroni. However we made a riff this time. As we had Riesling vermouth in our wine fridge we thought this should substitute the sweet vermouth normally used. And to allow the gin to really shine we left out Campari and instead went with alcohol free but sparkling San Bitter. ⁠

We ended up with the most enjoyable drink showcasing the beauty of the phenomenal Ferdinand's gin. ⁠

Cheers!⁠

Unlike cloudy ice, clear ice is free of impurities and air bubbles, offering a pristine, glass-like appearance that enhances the visual appeal of any cocktail. But it's not just about looks. Clear ice is denser and melts more slowly, keeping your drink colder for longer without diluting its

A Spirit(ual) Journey Throughout the North of Sweden

It has always been on our wishlist, to tour the more northern parts of Sweden. Our interest in spirits and cocktails have taken us to many places in Sweden and abroad, but until now not really more north than Uppsala. Well this just changed, as we got the chance to pay a visit to gin producer Norrbottens Destilleri. And this was just the start of five fantastic days, driving between so many beautiful spots. Norrbottens Destilleri Töre, close to Kalix, is where Norrbottens Destilleri produce the
